    Parallel Arrays: For loop error

    Hi,

    This application is an assignment that requires for me to list the names of kids into 2 list boxes from the (strChild)array. The second array(rdoList) consists of if the child is acceptable to participate in the sled race. So 2 arrays, one has the child's full name, second has the yes or no value of participation. The error I am getting is when I'm trying to display the elements in the (strChild) array that are parallel to the "Yes" value in the (rdoList) array into the list box and I get a "Conversion from string "Y" to type 'Integer' is not valid"

    I highlighted the line RED which gives me the error.

    Code:
    Public Class Main
        'Declaring arrays
        Dim strChild(-1) As String ' holds the variables of the child's full name
        Dim rdoList(-1) As String  ' holds the Yes or No radio button selection
    
        Private Sub btnAdd_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
            Dim count As Integer = 0
    
            'Validation
            If txtFName.Text = "" Or txtLName.Text = "" Then
                MessageBox.Show("Please enter a First and Last Name")
            Else
                'Stores the name into the array
                ReDim Preserve strChild(strChild.Length)
                strChild(strChild.Length - 1) = txtLName.Text & "," & txtFName.Text
    
                'Stores the value of the radio button into the array
                If rdoYes.Checked Then
                    ReDim Preserve rdoList(rdoList.Length)
                    rdoList(rdoList.Length - 1) = "Y"
                Else
                    ReDim Preserve rdoList(rdoList.Length)
                    rdoList(rdoList.Length - 1) = "N"
                End If
    
                For i As Integer = 0 To rdoList(rdoList.Length - 1)
                    If rdoList(i) = "Y" Then
                        Do Until 0 = strChild(strChild.Length - 1)
                            lstAllowed.Items.Add(strChild(i))
                        Loop
                    End If
                Next
            End If
    
            'Clears out text boxes
            txtFName.Clear()
            txtLName.Clear()
            txtFName.Focus()
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub btnExit_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
            'Closes the form
            Me.Close()
        End Sub
    End Class
